For those curious about penis extenders

For those curious about penis extenders

1st off I want to say thanks to the guy who created this forum b/c it has helped me A LOT. Let me give a little history then I will proceed with my topic.

I became a member of this site a couple years ago. I started off just like everyone with the newbie routine and eventually got into clamping a lot because I wanted to add girth (I heard women like girth more anyway). Eventually girth became my main focus and I started to see some permanent gains. Haven’t measured in awhile but I think any person can tell when their penis is a lot thicker on a continual basis than it normally is. Anyhow, I stopped because I was moving around a lot and didn’t have the privacy to jelq or clamp anymore but my gains were there so I was convinced that PE actually works.

I eventually switched up and wanted to focus on length. I gained about half an inch in length solely from jelqing and clamping but I still want to reach my goal of 9 inches. I bought my 1st extender off Amazon about a year ago. I didn’t want to pay big bucks just to see if the damn thing worked so mine was around 30 bucks or so. Anyhow, I wore it 5 days a week for about a month or so. I couldn’t get the hang of it because my penis was sore as hell and I didn’t see any spec of gains. After being frustrated (of course) I said to hell with this thing and threw it away.

Fast forward to November of last yr (‘12).I still didn’t have the time to jelq and wanted to atleast hit 8 inches so I figured I would give the extender another try because I figured hanging just wasn’t my thing. I ended up ordering one from AliExpress (not sure if we’re supposed to say where) and spent about 12 bucks on it. This time I wanted to do a little more research to see what I was possibly doing wrong before. I got it right before Thanksgiving and started wearing it immediately. First week for roughly 4 hrs a day for 5 days just to get warmed up (lowest tension). Funny thing about this extender was I was able to move the extender down so I was able to wear it more often and for longer because it couldn’t be seen under my clothes. After a couple weeks I realized I was using the thing wrong the 1st time I tried it. I previously used way too much tension and basically overworked my penis which I assumed didn’t do any good. This time I followed the guidelines and slowly I started to notice some differences.

Keep in mind I HAVEN’T been doing any other PE exercises because I wanted to see if it really works this time. It’s been a little over a month for me and since the 1st week I’ve been clocking in 6-7 hrs a day for 5 days.. A couple hrs on Sat if I can and I can absolutely say that I have seen some changes. 1st off my flaccid penis is hanging a little longer and is a little thicker than before. My EQ definitely went up!! I haven’t measured anything because I want to hit the 500 mark 1st but I have noticed that it looks longer and is certainly thicker. I started to realize it during a lot of sex sessions with my wife (ie. A different grip when sucking, mouth opens a little more, extra lift when inserting to ride, etc.) I didn’t have to measure to tell that it came from the extender and from me using it correctly this time compared to before when I was trying to over stretch my penis.

I know some are going to ask about tension so I’m using 1200 for another month or so then I’ll move up to 1500. I haven’t been taking any extra supplements, only one-a-day vitamins and that’s it. Once again, I did all of this to see if it really works and so far I can say that I’m happy with my progress. Haven’t took any new pics yet but I will.

Just wanted to share my experience b/c I know it may help someone who either doesn’t know, curious, or frustrated with penis extenders.

Hi Bama, your experience is similar to mine. However I started with an aliexpress cheapie and discovered Thunders later.

Think the message here is that it takes a while to work out how to use an extender and the instructions which come with most are pretty limited. Reading in places like Thundersplace IS invaluable. When I first got mine I gradually increased both time in traction and tension and got results parallel to yours, First my flaccid grew then I started getting gains in BEPL. The gains were not uniform and often came in little jumps often after a short break.

I tried all sorts of ways of avoiding the noose pain and now use a DIY velcro strap over a silicone comfort sleeve with a bit of bandage underneath to stop slipping. I also apply heat during the extending but remove it well before the end of each session to allow for a cool down under traction.

As far as tension goes the springs in your unit are probably not accurate if it is similar to mine but it really does not matter if you gradually increase tension over time with caution not to overdo it. I now use an extender without springs but still think a spring one is probably the best way to start as it allows you change tension in a measured way.

It is really nice to hear some positive feedback on cheaper extenders. The pricing on the more known extenders is just absurd! Thank you guys for these posts!

Burn that tunica!

Thanks you two for the replies!

@Austfred I agree 100%. I had to figure out which noose worked for me as well. My 1st extender included about 4 different ones and my head kept slipping out too. This time it only came with the basic noose and this one is holding my head in place and hasn’t slipped yet. Everyone’s penis is shaped differently so I encourage everyone interested to see what works/fits you.

I agree that the tension isn’t 100% accurate but yes figuring out when to add more and not overdoing it works. You just have to listen to your penis. If it’s giving you a burning sensation then you’re doing too much and need to let up a little.

I do know the more expensive ones have better springs/tension so if anyone wants to get one then do your research, go for it and most importantly BE PATIENT & CAREFUL!

Oh yeah.. I confess I haven’t been doing any warm ups or applying heat like @Austfred recommended. Bad I KNOW.. So keep this in mind as well. I know once I start doing that it will only add to my results so anyone reading take all of this into consideration.

Great thread, thanks. I’m getting back into it after a break and will use an extender before I hang again. Even when I do hang again, I’ll likely still extend—so much more convenient!

Bama, I assume you threw all of your original extender out. The headpiece would probably fit your new one. Anyway you can get a two way headpiece which will fit your new extender an aliexpress for under $5 Search under “cradle and strap for penis extender”. You need one of those if you want to try the DIY velcro mod. I agree the the silicone strap that they come with is pretty bad and seems to cause endless slipping. There are techniques to mod that strap also but I have not tried them.

>You just have to listen to your penis. If it’s giving you a burning sensation then you’re doing too much and need to let up a little.

Could not agree more. However it took me a while to work out what my penis was telling me. I now have a better idea of when it is saying time for a rest break, for example.

Hey bama

I had the same experience but opposite. ..

My story was also back in 2012.

I wanted to ask you when you restarted did you put the rods back to the smallest and then every week increase a rods to make the extender longer?

Because when I first started my extending I did that from mid Oct to Jan slowly increasing a rod and also gain about an inch or so. Like both length and girth grew like crazy, but then my extender broke and I had sent it back and with then a week and a half lost all my Gains and to this day have not got them back. ..

I don’t understand how I did not gain them back I started a rod below what I had my extender before and continued with no luck.

I’m guessing I gain from my tunica because my dick was standing up with crazy EQ.. I did this for almost a year with nothing

Any advice!

During your gaining period did you get a sore? Did you feel your legs stretching or tunica? How long did you leave it on before taking it off?

Thanks for all your help bama

Mr Az

By the way I have a vitamix extender and it’s a noose. I

I have heard that most extenders gain Below there erect penis size and I know I was well below my erect size too when I had those massive gains.. Was this true for you also? Was your extender length below your erect Length of 7inches?
